    Pieter Wispelwey - performed all 6 JSB Cello Suites in one sitting, the first cellist to receive the Netherlands Music Prize, and proud owner of a piccolo cello.

      just realised that I did look at Mr Wispelwey's page in wikipedia when trying to find an answer to the question but neither piccolo cellos or marathon playing sessions are mentioned there [ nor, at a quick glance, are those two facts even mentioned in his personal website - not of course that I'm casting any doubts, but if one is to have a chance of answering ................ ]

                              ... no.

                              But if A was a musical note, and you wanted to get to the musical note B....
